BootMGR Missing or NTLDR Missing Windows multiple Hard drive

Recently, one of my hard drive broke (3 hard drives in total). The problem was that the MBR was stored in the broken hard drive and the OS Windows 7 was in an other hard drive. Therefore, I was unable to boot my machine 🙁 After few hours of research, I found the solution and I wanted to share with everyone.

BootMGR Missing Windows

NTLDR Missing Windows

First of all, I booted my computer with Live Knnoppix Linux using USB or you can use Ubuntu or any other Linux distro Live CD.

If you want to save some CD’s, simply use a free tool called unetbootin to run Live linux from USB. (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/)

After that, using Gparted, I copied the MBR from broken hard drive (MBR was not yet corrupted :)) ) and paste in to other hard drive (my second HD)

Once copied, in terminal , I ran the command below as root

 lilo -M /dev/sdb mbr

where /dev/sdb good hard drive contain’s the MBR

If the command lilo is not installed, run the command below as root and try again:

apt-get install lilo

After, simply shutdown your computer. Remove the bad HD and start the computer. It should be working without any problem.
